Not really too much for myself. My friend wants to make himself some Stormtrooper armor though. I would like to design and make my own armor too if I was talented enough. As you can see in one of the pictures, I did sculpt a bracer of sorts out of clay which actually formed quite well...so we'll see.

So for armor and whatnot are going you to reinforce it by using fiberglass resin on the inside?

I hadn't really thought about it actually, but for the cost of the resin it probably isn't worth it to me. The plastic is quite durable when it is a decent thickness as well so I would be fine if my stuff wasn't made with the resin.
